Loser Machine Co. Chops & Rod Show in Carlsbad, CA

Jack-o-lanterns and early sunsets are the signal for most American motorcycle and hot rod fanatics to put the old iron in cold storage and tool up for a winter of rust bucket refurb. Citizens of the Golden State see autumn as an opportunity to pull out the Pendletons and hit the scene.

This fall the guys at Loser Machine Co. took advantage of San Diego county's unseasonably warm weather to host their second annual Chops and Rods Show. The venue was Hensley's Pub and Grill in Carlsbad, CA, and the event brought out a who's who of hip cats from all over southern California.

We spoke to Kevin Kosha from Loser Machine Co. about the possibility of hosting more Chops and Rods events, and LMC's GM was quick to say he can almost guarantee it. Future venues for Loser's culture throwdown might include Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon.
